EFCC raids Obasanjo’s hotel, arrests internet fraudsters at pool party
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have reportedly stormed the Green Legacy Hotel, located within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State, and arrested some youths suspected to be internet fraudsters.
Reports say the EFCC operatives carried out the raid in the early hours of Sunday during a pool party at the premises of the library.
This came barely five days after operatives of the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the commission arrested a suspected internet fraudster with two locally-made pistols in a raid at K-Hotel in Itori, Ewekoro area of the state.
The suspect, according to the anti-graft agency, was among the 55 others arrested during the raid carried out on Wednesday.
A viral video of the Sunday raid at the Obasanjo Library showed youths scampering for safety as the sound of gunshots filled the air.
The operatives reportedly arrested a number of youths and seized “more than 20 luxury cars and other valuable items.”
